A NUP98-HOXD13 Fusion Gene Impairs Differentiation of B and T Lymphocytes and Leads to Expansion of Thymocytes with Partial TCRB Gene Rearrangement
20 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Expression of a NUP98-HOXD13 (NHD13) fusion gene leads to myelodysplastic syndrome in mice. In addition to ineffective hematopoiesis, we observed that NHD13 mice were lymphopenic; the lymphopenia was due to a decrease in both T and B lymphocytes. Although the pro-B cell (B220(+)/CD43(+)) populations from the NHD13 and wild-type mice were similar, the NHD13 mice showed decreased pre-B cells (B220(+)/CD43(-)),...
